A sample of 150 plastic panels was selected and tested for shock resistance and scratch resistance. The results are summarized in the Table 4 below. Table 4: Total number of shock and scratch resistance Scratch(high) Resistance(low) Shock(high) 0.42 Resistance(low) 0.26 0.14 0.18
Kellogg's Froot Loops cereal comes in six colors: orange, yellow, purple, red, blue, and green. Charise randomly selected 120 loops and noted the color of each. Shown in the table are her data. Color Count Orange 28 Yellow 21 Purple 16 Red Blue 25 14 Green 16 We want to test Ho: Froot Loops contain an equal proportion of each flavor versus Ha: Froot Loops do not contain an equal proportion of each flavor. Use a chi-square goodness-of-fit test to compute a test statistic and P-value. Do these data provide convincing evidence at the 5% significance level that Kellogg's Froot Loops do not contain an equal proportion of each color? Because the P-value of 0.3495 0.05, we cannot reject the null hypothesis. We cannot conclude that Froot Loops do not contain an equal proportion of each color. Because the P-value of 0.2455 0.05, we cannot reject the null hypothesis. We cannot conclude that Froot Loops do not contain an equal proportion of each color.

A county environmental agency suspects that the fish in a particular polluted lake have elevated mercury levels. To confirm that suspicion, five striped basses in that lake were caught and their tissues were tested for mercury. For the purpose of comparison, four striped basses in an unpolluted lake were also caught and tested. The fish tissue mercury levels in mg/kg are given below. Sample I(From Polluted Lake) 0.523 0.723 0.523 0.623 0.523 Sample II(From Unpolluted Lake) 0.323 0.223 0.523 0.323 0.000 (a) Construct the 95% confidence interval for the difference in the population means based on these data. (b) Test, at the 5% level of significance, whether the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that fish in the polluted lake have elevated levels of mercury in their tissue.
Fourteen different second-year medical students at a hospital measured the blood pressure of the same person. The systolic readings (mm Hg) are listed below. Use the given data to construct a boxplot and identify the 5-number summary. 122 131 135 145 120 125 140 130 126 146 122 140 146 150 What is the five number summary? What is the boxplot?

When testing a new drug, scientists measure the amount of the active ingredient that is absorbed by the body. In a study done at the Colorado School of Mines, a new antifungal medication that was designed to be applied to the skin was tested. The medication was applied to the skin of eight adult subjects. One hour later, the amount of active ingredient that had been absorbed into the skin was measured for each subject. The results, in micrograms, were 1.28 1.36 2.01 3.20 1.00 2.50 3.36 3.50 Is the mean amount absorbed greater than 2 micrograms. Use the a = 0.05 level of significance. (A) Yes (В) No

A pharmaceutical company states that there is 500mg of active ingredient in each capsule for one of the medicines they manufacture. However, the FDA believes the company is purposely underfilling the capsule to save money. A sample of 20 capsules is taken and the amount of active ingredient inside is measured. The results are below: 484 460 471 512 494 529 494 485 474 502 503 538 466 495 475 529 518 464 449 489 Part 1: Construct a 95% confidence interval using toolPAK for the amount of active ingredient measured. Use the appropriate distribution, and specify the upper and lower limits of the interval. Part 2: Carefully interpret the 95% confidence interval? What if you did constructed a Confidence Interval Manually? Part 3: Does the 95% confidence interval support the FDA’s claim? Explain. Part 4: Would your answer change if the confidence level was lowered to 75%? Explain.
In a study of exhaust emissions from school buses, the pollution intake by passengers was determined for a sample of nine school buses used in the Southern California Air Basin. The pollution intake is the amount of exhaust emissions, in grams per person, that would be inhaled while traveling on the bus during its usual 18-mile trip on congested freeways from South Central LA to a magnet school in West LA. Here are the amounts for the nine buses when driven with the windows open. 1.19 0.33 0.40 0.33 1.32 0.38 0.25 0.40 0.35 (a) Consider making a stemplot. Are there outliers or strong skewness that would preclude use of the t procedures? 1)The sample is small and the stemplot is right skewed with possible outliers, so use of t procedures is not appropriate. 2)The sample is small and the stemplot is left skewed with possible outliers, so use of t procedures is not appropriate. 3)The distribution has a slight right skew, but no potential outliers, so the…
